House of Representatives
Session of 2019 - 2020
Regular Session

MEMORANDUM

In the near future, I will be introducing legislation that provides funding for financially distressed municipalities to hire a Code Enforcement Officer and to hire either a Main Street or Elm Street Program coordinator. These positions shall be funded by DCED at the following rates:

First two years – 100%

Years three through five – 80%

Years six through eight – 50%

Having employees dedicated to curbing blight, promoting economic development, and revitalization of financially distressed municipalities will only benefit the municipality and help it to leave Act 47.
